Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    The cuisine of Thailand is rapidly gaining world popularity. It typically has a sweet/sour/salty taste. Look for these rice noodles and other specialties exported by Thailand at an Asian market or the ethnic section of the grocery store.
  • tip 2
    Let children help when cooking the rice noodles. They will be fascinated to see the noodles become transparent during cooking.
  • tip 3
    A stir-fried vegetable, such as spinach, broccoli or green beans, would be a nice side dish with this entree.
